I searched around the site to see if this had been discussed before, but could not find anything...
Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the vision of deer. I went to a seminar last year put on by Wade Nolan and he spoke about deer vision. He said that deer see in ultraviolet and basically the clothing that we all wear has UV brighteners in them and the deer see this very well. We basically glow to them at low light hours of the day. He was marketing products made by ATSKO, specifically UV-Killer. I bought this product a couple of weeks ago and plan on trying it.
They have been several times while bow hunting that I have been downwind of deer, stayed perfectly still and they sometimes just look at me. I know that it may be due to the silhouette of me against a background, but I think it may be due to their vision...
Just wanted to hear what you all think.
